I want an AI Agent that does the clicking and typing for me. "Filter on Product Names containing "widget" " "Show me all records for Customer XYZ" "Sort this view by Date" "Check the box - Create Sales Order" "Set Follow-up Date to 2 weeks from today" Nitty gritties: 1. Navigating "Go to the Customers table" "Switch to the [Sales Orders] view" "Show me the records from the past month" 2. Searching & Filtering Data "Filter by [Product Name] containing 'widget'" "Show me all records for [Customer XYZ]" "Find all tasks due tomorrow" "Show me all records where 'Status' is 'Pending'" 3. Data Manipulation "Sort this view by [Date] in descending order" "Sort the records by [Amount] from highest to lowest" "Show only records where 'Stock Level' is less than 10" "Set [Shipping Date] to next Monday" "Delete all records older than 6 months" 4. Data Entry & Updates "Create a new record with [Customer Name], [Product], [Quantity], and [Price]" "Add a note to record [ID] with 'Shipment delayed until Friday'" "Update 'Follow-up Date' to 2 weeks from today for all records in 'Pending' status" 5. Task Automation "Set a reminder to follow up on [Customer XYZ] next Monday" "Mark all tasks in this view as 'Completed' " "Create a new 'Reminder' task for [Customer XYZ] to call next week" 6. Interacting with Linked Records "Show all records related to [Customer XYZ] in the [Invoices] table" "Link these records to [Sales Order #123]" 7. Integrations & Workflows "Send a reminder email to [Customer XYZ] about their order status" "Sync this table with Google Sheets" "Run the [Monthly Sales Report] automation" 8. Collaboration & Notifications "Notify [Team Member] about a delay in the order for [Customer XYZ]" "Share this view with [Email Address]" 9. AI Assistant "How can I..." "Are there any integrations that can help with XYZ ?"

In the options for different interface types, the only way to get a table is through starting with a blank interface and adding a table element in. This often causes scrolling issues between the whole page and within the table, and overall is is a very clunky way to get a table interface. Can a new interface be made that is just a table, similar to the list interface, but with the functionality of a table. It would be the same as the table view under the data tab, but having it as an interface gives a lot more control over access to it and sharing between other people. If this could be added it would also solve Allow what users can see/access individual Views in the same table as @TheTimeSavingCo commented on this.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Today an interface can only be created on a base from every table in this base. It might happen to wish to build an interface with information coming from different bases. Let's have an interface that can show data from all the bases!

What is the proposed idea/solution? ...Introduce an option in Airtable's Interface Designer to hide or collapse elements within a page until a filter or record picker linked to it has a selection made. How does is solve the user problems? ...When navigating pages with numerous elements or multiple filter boxes (often due to information being pulled from various tables), hiding elements until a filter option is chosen minimizes visual clutter and unnecessary scrolling. This enhancement simplifies the interface at first glance, creating a cleaner, more focused user experience. It also reduces the number of pages required within an interface, consolidating workflows and reducing the number of clicks needed to access information. Overall, this saves users time and improves efficiency by streamlining their interaction with the interface. How was this validated? ... This idea is supported by user feedback highlighting frustration with current interface designs, specifically: Difficulty understanding what a page offers or the purpose of its elements without a visible breakdown. The need to scroll through an entire page to locate a specific element, which can be time-consuming. Challenges faced by new Airtable users or those unfamiliar with a particular page, as they struggle to quickly grasp its structure or find relevant information. These insights demonstrate the value of a cleaner, more dynamic interface that adapts to user actions, reducing confusion and improving efficiency. Who is the target audience? ...The target audience includes any users of Airtable, such as (but not limited to) project managers, data analysts, and interface designers who rely on complex, multi-table data interfaces to drive productivity. Additionally, casual users who benefit from simplified, intuitive workflows will also find value in this enhancement.

What is the proposed idea/solution? A new View Type that "freezes" records filtered into it so that its data, including formulas and perhaps other dynamic fields, no longer update but provide a snapshot of the record at the time it was "frozen". Records in the view can get ignored by API queries making automation and actions faster too. How does is solve the user problems? Improves Base performance because the system doesn't needs to constantly update formulas or check dynamical filtering conditions on records that are not in use. Reports can still be generated on this data without needing to copy the data from dynamic fields to text only duplicates of the field or duplicating entire records to another Archive/Reporting table or external source. Who is the target audience? Enterprise customers and users with large datasets.

What is the proposed idea/solution? ...Allow a base to be created and made private on a shared workspace. How does is solve the user problems? ...Users should be able to be a part of workspace, but create a private base to get access to features of the workspace that are not available in the free workspace. Currently the workaround is to only share specific bases with other users in the company, and this is a pain due to multiple people being collaborators so we have multiple owners of the system, instead of just one person. Who is the target audience? ...All users

I've had a few cases where I was using views in the style of a "help desk" and really wanted to see the number of records that needed to be actioned on. It would be nice to have an optional badge count shown for records in a view or in the interface pages, especially for help desk and similar apps where the views and pages are filtered based on the actions needed to be taken.

I'm a PM at a Product company and we've been using the Gantt view to build all of our schedules! One function that would be extremely helpful is the ability to add or remove the vertical lines that run through milestones, depending on how we want it visualized. Example: We have a Mile High view that displays only milestones for multiple projects across the company. With so much overlap, the vertical lines become extremely condensed and messy quickly. Our goal is to have one, visually clean view that we can return to on a monthly basis and review with a cross-functional team to track milestones across the company. Would love any suggestions here!

What is the proposed idea/solution? Create an Overarching Timeline and Date settings functionality that lives at the BASE level versus the view. In these settings, I can configure a timeline that will appear at the top of every timelines / Gantt view that will display a single line of important date information. I can also define dates to be "Unschedulable". How does is solve the user problems? There is currently no clean way to define a single line "important Dates" or milestones for your project, and you have to hackily set this up dependent of what you are showing in your timeline / Gantt view. Additionally, you must also define your date settings PER view, versus setting this up 1 time for your base. If your company has 100 Holidays, time off, etc. per year, you have to input these 100 dates in EVERY view where you dont want them to be seen. In any timeline or Gantt view "Use Global Timeline Settings" is set on by Default How was this validated? In timeline and Gantt, a Top level Timeline row will exist and I can input dates to be displayed as either a Single Date, or a Span of time. I can define the colors for each without needing to setup the conditions. Who is the target audience? Project Managers and Producers

What is the proposed idea/solution? Add a Feature so you can change the background color of cells and whole colums manually or based on condition matching. How does is solve the user problems? Design of Tables and List Views will get more clean and easier to use / navigate. Also Users can color cells based on their content (like positive=green, negative=red, ...) How was this validated? It's basic visual Design theories. Who is the target audience? Nearly everyone, at least every user who needs to navigate through big airtable bases & list views.
